Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Design a CE amplifier circuit. If the components are R1 = 1kΩ, C1 = 100nF, and the gain is required to be 10, derive the transfer function and identify the poles.
💡 Hint: Focus on summing the effective resistances and capacitances in the circuit.
Given a CS amplifier with load capacitance C2 = 33pF and a target low cutoff frequency of f = 1kHz, calculate the required input capacitance.
💡 Hint: Use the frequency cut-off formula to relate R and C, focusing on the characteristics of capacitive loads.
